Bubakes

Hi, I'm Liz (AKA Bu), welcome to BuBakes! Based in Chelmsford, Essex I'm a passionate and persistent soul; who is ridiculously happy when up to her eyes in fondant and frosting. I'm delighted to have received the highly commended award for Best Wedding Cake Provider at the 2019 British Wedding Awards, an event which I also had the honour of creating the wedding cake for! My cakes have featured in Wedding Ideas Magazine, and I have written tutorials for Cake Decorating Heaven and Cake Masters magazines. That said, BuBakes is more than just a cake decorating business. It was created in 2014 when I suffered a breakdown and was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder, and later depression. I discovered that decorating cakes eased symptoms of my anxiety; and so BuBakes became both my job and a form of daily therapy for me. I am exceptionally fortunate to be able to say that I love going to work every morning! I do still battle with my mental health, and I am proud to stand up and say so. In fact, I struggled so much to find a way to articulate what was happening when I was first diagnosed, that I decided to share my experiences in the hope they may be able to help others. Therefore you will find that BuBakes' blog contains posts that are dedicated to raising awareness of mental health. I am particularly proud of one specific post (What's going on in there. . . ) that was endorsed by Stephen Fry. If you have any questions or would like us to create your own cakey masterpiece then please don't hesitate to get in touch. All the very bestLiz (Bu) x
